The Twenty Dates by Ko Porteous #Review #EmptyNesters

It is good to return to The Empty Nesters series by Ko Porteous. The Twenty Dates was published by All Ways Publishing Ltd on October 8th. You can read my review of Book 1, The Freshman Parents   here The kids have left, assuming love endures. But can yours? Book #2 in The Empty Nesters Series   Claire’s marriage is in (total!) crisis. Her husband, Mark, is distracted, presumptuous, and utterly clueless - smart scales for their 19th wedding anniversary? Really? Perhaps she'd be better off alone. At least there'd be less laundry.   When Claire suggests separating, Mark panics. He asks for one last chance: twenty dates, one for each year of their marriage, to prove they're better off together than apart. What follows is a series of adventures Claire never saw coming - some mortifying, some exhilarating, and some that make her question everything she thought she knew. About Mark. About marriage. And about the woman she's quietly become while she wasn't payin...

Stuck on you by Portia Macintosh #Review

 

I am delighted to feature Portia Macintosh's newest romcom, Stuck on You which was published on September 17th by Boldwood Books. 

 
Could a post-it note really lead to love...?

Sadie doesn't have time for finding love. She's too busy as PA for famous artist Damian Banks. When she's not arranging exhibitions, she's organising his dry cleaning or dumping his never ending stream of girlfriends.

But when she strikes up an unusual friendship with her desk share buddy, she finds a confidante and a new potential love interest. Problem is, they've never actually met... 

With Christmas just around the corner, can Sadie put herself first for a change and find what she's been looking for all along?

The brand new romantic comedy from top 10 bestseller Portia MacIntosh. Perfect for fans of Sophie Ranald, Mhairi McFarlane and Zara Stoneley.


                                                                                       My Thoughts

 

I thoroughly enjoyed this light, amusing romcom which sped by. Sadie and her family are completely likeable and there is a great contrast between her life in London and back home. Christmas with her family has a heart-warming and welcoming feel and all the festive activities bring a smile to your face. There are some genuinely funny moments and sparky dialogue between the characters and you really feel you know them.

    In both Sadie and Damien, you can see a degree of character development in the story which is completely credible. The more you find out about Damien's family, in particular, the more you understand him. However, as you learn, not everything can be taken at face value. Indeed, Damien is a little hard to size up at first but you get a hunch about him and it is quite amusing to see the story pan out. With some surprises and a will they, won't they plot, it is a lovely, festive read.

In short:  Christmas cheer and lots of romance.
